PS3 bundles will not be released in UK

Sony has reportedly confirmed that its latest PlayStation 3 hardware bundles will not be released outside of mainland Europe.

Following news that Sony will launch two new PS3 bundles, the firm has now revealed that neither will make it to the UK.

The two packs, consisted of the new 80GB PS3 and either a copy of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue or a Blu-ray movie, were expected in the UK in September and October respectively.

However, blog PS3 Attitude claims it has received an official statement from Sony, revealing: "The UK does not generally offer hardware bundles. These particular bundles are not Europe-wide and will not be offered to the UK market.”
